Generally speaking, most sessions within the Charleston area will take place within 2-3 hours of sunrise or sunset. If your sessions is on the grounds of a gated property such as Charles Towne Landing or similar your session will usually take place right at opening.

Yes, dogs are welcome at beach sessions under a few conditions. I ask that your dogs have a good temperament towards humans for the safety of myself and my dog handlers. as well as a reasonable temperament towards other animals as there is always a chance we would be approached by other dogs on the beach. Local leash laws must be followed at all times meaning during the peak seasons of April through early September dogs must be leashed at all times. During the off season (Mid-September through March) dogs are permitted off leash for sunrise sessions, but again, just keep in mind that everyone else's dogs are also off leash during this time. Dog handlers are available for your session at the rate of $75 to keep your dog on leash and allow you to take pictures with and without them. 

All clients book two spots in my available schedule so that we always have a designated back up plan in case of rain or unfavorable weather. Weather determinations are called either the evening before for a sunrise or 3-4 hours before sunset as the weather forecast change hourly. Every attempt to complete your session on the initial day you booked will be made, but backup dates are used when we encounter a complete rainout.

All clients with Full Story or Epilogue Packages receive their Final Edited Images in a private online gallery with password protected downloads and a print release within two weeks of their session. The Highlights proofing galleries are delivered within one week and final edited within two weeks after selection. 

Extended family and group sessions are a niche for me here in the Charleston area and no one accomplishes them like me on the beach! My years of experience make my sessions quick, fun and efficient in capturing everything you need (and probably more!) In extended family sessions we always accomplish full group, grandparents with grandchildren, cousins, siblings, individual families, couples and more! 

The cost for an extended family session starts at $949 for 8 total people. Additional family members up to 10 can be added for just $25 a person. 10 people and over would fall into my Extended Family Session Rates that begin at $999.

Your online gallery is linked to one of the top professional print labs in the US, Miller’s Lab.

What an advanced world we live in, I remember printing images in the darkroom and having no way to edit anything other than the color and contrast....

Anyhoo- As a client of mine your delivered final gallery will be print ready. That means that I take care of bug bites, bruises, some blemishes and eliminating background distractions to ensure your images are ready to send to the printer as soon as you see them. In addition,  I now also have the privilege of being able to utilize an amazing development of Ai software to take your images to the next level or as I call "Advanced Editing". My advanced editing makes your images magazine worthy with a further level of blemish removal when necessary, adding that extra sparkle to eyes in your headshots, subtle teeth whitening, and even taking out distracting flyaway hairs.
